Part 6/10:
Amidst this turmoil, the role of authority figures in the story is crucial. The stark dichotomy between gifted and non-gifted students is examined, and as Pang expresses his disdain for the educational system, he recognizes that change is necessary. This realization culminates in Wave and Pang’s decision to join forces against the oppressive school structure.
The Role of Memory and Control
An intriguing aspect of the episode is the exploration of memory as a form of control. Teacher Palm’s methods reveal a historical context rooted in unethical experiments aimed at “enhancing” students, leading to dire consequences. This subplot intertwines with the students’ current plight, uncovering a web of manipulation that encouraged Wave and Pang to dig deeper into the school's dark history.
